Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: narration presents events as spoken or written accounts.
Explanation: Theatre and narration differ in how they convey events: theatre enacts events through performance, while narration conveys events by telling them, either orally or in writing.
Theatre: events are translated into actions that actors perform on stage.
Narration: events are reported by telling — this can be spoken aloud or written down.
Conclusion: narration therefore presents events as spoken or written accounts, making the full phrasing 'as spoken or written accounts' the best description.
Why other choices are incorrect:
As dialogues: Dialogue can appear in both narration and theatre, but it does not describe the general mode of narration.
Orally: This is incomplete because narration is not only oral; it can also be written.
Written: This is also incomplete because narration can be presented orally as well as in writing.
